Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note: The Jets took on the Oilers last night in Edmonton to conclude a three-game road trip which saw them pick up their NHL leading 48th win by virtue of a 4-3 OT win which got them to 100 points on the season. It was the fastest (in 70 games) they’ve ever got to the century mark. They are off today but will be back on the ice for practice on Saturday as they prepare to start four games at home starting with the Sabres on Sunday.

Note II: The Moose are back in town for a pair of games before they head back on the road. Tonight they welcome the Canucks (from Abbotsford) to Winnipeg as they try to keep their slim playoff hopes alive with a win this evening. Puck drop is at 7 PM CDT.
